KNOX HANDROID POD MK4 GLOVES - BLACK

Description

The Pod MK4 is the shorter cuff model in the Handroid line-up. This glove boasts the same list of impressive safety innovations but incorporates an updated cuff featuring the amazing BOA fastening system.

Firstly you will notice the revised futuristic looking exo skeleton which is in place to provide hardcore finger and metacarpal protection in the event of a fall or smash. Knox have also developed what they call their Scaphoid Protection System, or SPS for short. The scaphoid, found at the base of your wrist, is one of the most commonly broken bones in motorcycle accidents, this comes down to the fact it is instinct to put your hands out in a fall and as soon as your wrist grips the floor it will over extend and cause a break - just ask Stoner, Lorenzo and Bayliss to name a few. With the help of this innovative slider technology the Handroid allows the wrist to slide without gripping the tarmac, therefore preventing this common break should you find yourself in a casual a high side. The Handroid MK4 achieves full CE stamp of approval guaranteeing the level of protection they offer.

Another unique feature of the Handroid is its popular BOA closure system which means Knox are able to delete the typical wrist strap all together. Made from aircraft grade stainless steel this closure system will give the rider a more tailored seal when compared to traditional velcro fasteners for a better overall fit and security. The clicking ratchet system is also immensely satisfying to do up.

Even with its safety systems in place the Handroid gives you excellent feel for the controls of your bike. Knox use Australian Kangaroo leather which is super supple yet strong and one of the finest glove materials available.
